An interesting look into Lust's thoughts and insights.

A lot of great thoughts; a bit more environmental decription and feelings to support them would make it excellent. It enjoyed reading a story about Lust as well.

I love this! Lust's quiet practicality, especially.

And she thought about all his questions, because even Envy and Pride looked at her askance sometimes and avoided explaining themselves, and sometimes she watched Sloth and Gluttony in their simplicity and then took second looks at herself; because so much of humanity would look at and call a tragic breakdown in the marriage of form and function.

"I want millennia, maybe," said Lust, and tilted her head to look at the sky. "Geological ages. Can you imagine what we could do?" Like diamonds forming under an aeon of irreversible, irresistible change...

Greed stared at her, aghast, and did indeed start howling. He was dependable that way. "You always want to do the same damn thing you've been doing for him?"

Lust unfurled her arms in a shrug as she walked back into the house, laughing to herself a little, but mostly at him.I love their whole conversation, but especially this part. And how Lust wants things other than to carry out Father's plans, but doesn't care about them enough to
